Daniel Bwala, a spokesperson for the Atiku Abubakar presidential campaign, on Saturday, accused Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party for the 2023 election of using the police for brutality during his reign as governor of Anambra State.
Newsbreak.ng reports that Bwala said this on his verified Twitter handle without buttressing his claim.
My sister @AishaYesufu asked @PeterObi to tell us how he intends to tackle police brutality. Look no further; just check his reign in Anambra and you would see how he used the police for brutality.

“My sister @AishaYesufu asked @PeterObi to tell us how he intends to tackle police brutality. Look no further; just check his reign in Anambra and you would see how he used the police for brutality,” he wrote.
Activists and citizens say despite government promises to transform policing, abuses continue, including extortion, violence and intimidation.
In October 2020, Nigerians demonstrated against police brutality in the worst civil unrest in the country since its return to civilian rule in 1999. The protest was tagged #EndSARS.
